Whispers of Rain after Christmas

29/12/2010

0 Comments

 
Whispering Raindrops fluttering down
   Lying in bed absorbing the sound
Contemplating back on a day so well spent
   Bonds with family more strong than cement
Molecules of hydrogen twice over with O
   Coming down wet but starting as snow
A blanket of water envelops all underneath
   If it were to freeze it t'wod be a sheet
Worry not about that, not a care in my head
   Now I do lay me down for mine bed

Departing Departed

23/12/2010

Departing departed
   The time forth draws nigh
Sooner than soon
   It will be goodbye
Off to a land both far and wide
   Off off upon a magic carpet ride
Far away places
   Far and peoples
Far away customs
   Far away features
Why forward dark past unto a bright future
   Why wait till the last to see a new culture
Behold with great joy as histories unfold
   Rewards await those whose choices are bold
Depart without anger
   Remorse and/or pity
The departing departed for a entire new city!
Wondering if, when, why, or how
   This new experience qualities endow
Past snow and past ice,
   Past close friends and fam
All life does change, tis the way of the land
Joyous future memories to embrace with open arms and an open mind
Along the way so many are kind

Embracing the kindness of strangers in darkest hours
   Embracing what's called courage whilst others do cower
Embracing love of another who beckons "come home"
   Embracing the release of useless fears that were once known

Departing from one place to end in another
   Departing from family
Father, brother, and mother

Out to the world as a full grown man
   Out with the confidence that YES I FUCKING CAN

Excitement comes spilling out from each and every side
   Departing time now
Allow me to rise.

Fire Water

6/12/2010

Fire water raining down
   Golden orange droplets emitting a light all their own
The mountain eagly awaits their arrival on its dry, rocky flank
   Clouds glowing bring in answer to the call of the earth
Blue lightning stirs in the gassy formations
Loud thunder rolls for the beat to clap in
   An accompanyment to the pitter patter that carresses the earth
Drop of fire strike
   Bursting with color as they hit the ground
   A rainbow of reds
   Captivating flashes of brilliance
Heat cries out
   Hissing and pissing in the endless symphony of infinite light
The air electric
   Roaring thunder bursts from the heavens with its old friend lightning The whole sky has a moment of deep electric blue
Fire water continues its relentless assault
   The mountain continues its love affair with the heat
   A warm bath for the earth
   A sweet release for the sky
   A rare treat for the senses
Fire water raining down

    I love poetry.

    It can be whimsical or epic, unbearably long or just two memorable lines, mature and dark or light and childish.
